Chesty stands on the door step of Home of the Commandants during the puppy’s visit to Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., Feb. 14.
Chesty, a 9-week-old pedigree English bulldog is soon to become the future Marine Corps mascot after the completion of obedience and recruit training with a ceremony scheduled for March 29.
After completing training, the young puppy will earn the title Marine joining the ranks of his well-known predecessors.
I hope he didn’t piddle on the Commandant’s shoes. That could be a career ender! His predecessor went after the Sec Def’s dog while on parade. Good boy!
